Morning at Bag End

He’d apologized once for not having a home to bring her to, and she’d told him that it didn’t matter, but she’d wondered all the same how it would be to live in a hole that belonged to neither of them.

But as he made their breakfast she realized how well he knew the rhythms of this place, could put a hand to every pan and plate, and coax the pump to work without considering its quirks. As he reached for the salt he cast a smile over his shoulder and she smiled back.

He’d brought her home after all.

Oh, how lovely! What a peaceful, loving scene, and such a wonderful idea for a drabble.

*happy sigh*

Oh thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

[elendiari22.livejournal.com]

Awww. ANd it will belong to them, soon enough. :)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Shhh. They don't know that yet. *grin* Thanks!

Sam probably knew Bag End better than he could ever know any other hole, huh?

He'd brought her home after all.

How lovely. :)

Well, since the original #3 Bagshot Row got destroyed, yes. And after all the work of fixing Bag End up I'd expect he'd know every nail and board. Thanks!

aww~ very nice =) really like your description of Sam's familiarity with Bag End... and as always you end nicely with your "punchline" =)
:thumbsup::
very creative idea =)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Although this one wasn't so much a punch as a gentle tap on the nose...

Oh... how beautiful! I'm barely awake, but I'm sitting here with a big, happy smile on my face... it's a marvel. I should read one of your drabbles every morning... this one made my day, really.

Thank you!

I'm not sure I can come up with one every morning! But I'm glad this one started your day off right.

wonderful ! I wonder what Rosie's reaction was like when she heard that they were going to own Bag End. Thank you, dear !

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! And happy birthday, a little late! I was hoping that this would be the right bunny for your day.

Wow! I love this! Such a cozy moment you have painted...Sam and Rosie in the kitchen at Bag End. Home.

Lovely!

Cozy is good. Thanks!

That is probably one of the best drabbles I've read! A lot of them feel stilted, like the person was working to keep it to 100 words, but this one flows just perfectly! Bravo!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

*Laughs with delight!* If only you could have seen me arranging and rearranging the sentences, and adding and subtracting words to reach the magic 100 last night! I threw out entire ideas and images (which will turn up in another drabble, I'm pretty sure) before I was satisfied.

Nice to know it was worth the work!

[danachan.livejournal.com]

Ah, what a peaceful and perfect scene. *love*

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I love the little details you use to describe how Rosie finds that Bag End is indeed home for Sam. That quirk with the pump is an inspired touch. :) And the ending is lovely.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

All hand pumps have quirks, in my experience. *grin*

Thank you!
